The Florists' Review 



Makch 1, 1917. 



CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Since the middle of last week stock 

 of all kinds has become plentiful. Prices 

 have dropped to a point at which the 

 retailers can realize substantial profits, 

 if they are busy at all. Eoses of all 

 varieties, including American Beauties, 

 are in good supply; the same now is 

 true of carnations. Easter lily receipts 

 are large enough to take care of imme- 

 diate demands. Sweet pea consignments 

 are extremely heavy and these flowers 

 are beginning to be a glut. Excellent 

 daffodils, jonquils, hyacinths and tulips 

 may be had. Single violets are in heavy 

 supply. Other offerings include valley, 

 orchids, callas, rubrum lilies and snap- 

 dragons. 



Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri are 

 exceedingly scarce, the light but fairly 

 steady supply going quickly.

JSSnd Greenhouses 



KEEP SUMMER WITH YOU THE WHOLE YEAR ROUND I V: 



On account of their sturdy special construction, which permits of great 

 strength without the need of heavy, shadow-casting supports, these houses 

 are so warm and suuny that they are filled with a riot of bloom and fruit 

 when Jack Frost has stripped the garden of its beauty. j^ij^ 



The ventilating and heating systems are the result of years of experi- 

 ence in building for professional growers. Things just have to grow in a King.

 what the temperature is in your greenhouses, nights 

 and during your absences, unless you have 



THE STANDARD 



RECORDI NG 



THERMOMETER 



PRICE. $30.00

 ple, and I want to say that the machine bouKbta good many 

 years back Is keeping up its good work right along. The 

 recording thermometer Is a very useful adjunct to good 

 plant growing and should be In every man's greenhouse, as 

 reference to It may often tell what Is wrong with a batch of 

 plants, and avoid blaming the tcmoerature when It Is not the fault of the temperature.
